I wore a uniform from kindergarted through high school. I complained about it all the time but I do think they generally make life alot easier.
Now i just wear pajamas all the time cuz I can't be bothered deciding what to wear.

we have challenges against the other classes to get free dress days and its a senior privelege to wear free dress on fridays of 2nd semester.

basicly what i think is... uniforms shouldn't be manditory... you should be able to wear what you want (within reason) and be able to express yourself.


See, to me, herin lies the problem.  Being able to express yourself has absolutely nothing to do with going to school.  infact, being able to express yourself, in many way is the key distractor for most students.  I mean... take one look at Daniel's argument and you'll see how much thought on a daily basis he goes thorugh about it.  

The goal of a school should be to educate, and if a school can attempt to redirect your focus away from the latest fashions and concerns about if Mary looks better than Sue, then just maybe you have a little more focus to put into the actual teaching going on.

And as for uniforms not being able to be implemented into public schools on a grand scale.  It is possible.  It was done her ein my countty just this year.  Kids simply had to start wearing blue oxford shirts and khakis.  And this started MID school year.  There simply just aren't options given sometimes.  A Government school receives the full protection of the government... they pretty much have the ability to do whatever they want.

i would get bored.

I am not all into latest fashions or what not, but why should everyone have to dress the same?  We don't look the same for a reason, so why make us dress the same?
